Stage Magic (Ex): The headliner can use mirrors, misdirection, props, and sleight of hand to create false sensory impressions. This can be used for tricks ranging from minor illusions (such as appearing to saw an assistant in half) to major deceptions (such as making a major monument seem to appear out of thin air). At first level, stage magic functions as ghost sound or ventriloquism. At 3rd level, it may instead act as silent image. At 6th level, it may instead act as minor image. At 9th level or higher, it may instead act as major image.

These stage magic tricks differ from the spells they function as in the following ways. First, creatures are allowed saving throws against the illusions as soon as they perceive them – it is not necessary to interact with the stage magic to receive a save. Second, the headliner may only have a single illusion prepared at a time. Stage magic takes time to prepare, and creating a new illusion requires one hour of uninterrupted work and study, and access to basic raw materials and tools. Third, if the illusion is going to cover more than a single 5 foot square, it can only be performed in a space the headliner has prepared with ten minutes of set-up, which also requires basic tools and raw materials.
